CLAIM YOUR AFRICAN IDENTITY

Today on what would have been Marcus Garvey’s 126th birthday we remember the words of Amos Wilson: don’t shy away from your Africanness, embrace it!

It’s a message that was often made by respected psychologist and social-theorist Dr Amos Wilson who was inspired by the teachings of Garvey.

Here he makes the point that those who are proud of their heritage achieve success- and uses schoolchildren as an example.

Worth listening to his words, which are still relevant today.
